Help me identify my home system model

R

I'm a newbie here. I'm trying to remove a defective CO sensor from my home
system, however i dont know anything about the system, including the
make/model. I figure if I can determine the make/model, then I can start
finding out how to make the changes I want.

So, I could use some help identifying the type of alarm system I have.
There are markings on the unit to tell me who made it. The
installer/reseller doesnt really want to work with me (for reasons that are
too long to go into here.... suffice to say in my contract I got some
language put into it that made it clear who owns this equipment. They tried
to charge me $3000 to get out of my original monitoring contract).

I put some pictures of the unit on my website....

I can also anwer any questions to help identify this unit and eventually
(hopefully) remove the CO sensor.

TIA,
-Paul

Paul,

In order to replace your existing CO detector, you'd need to have either
Utility Access Code 1 or 2 to delete the old one from programming and add
the new one. Unless the default code was left in (always possible with
ADT), you'd need to get the code from the installer (sounds unlikely in your
case) or default the whole system to the factory settings (not recommended
at all).

On the other hand, if your contract has expired, you could always go with
another company who could take over the account and help you more
effectively than you just trying to help yourself. Your local yellow pages
would be a good start for this route.

Once you have the new detector installed and programmed, it would be a good
idea to call ADT and have them put your account on test for an hour or two.
This gives you time to set off the detector and call them back to make sure
they received the signal without having the fire dept. at your door.
